Two barrels of lime were unearthed
near the Presbyterian church Thursday

A Court Scene in Anaconda.

TWENTY-FIVE dollars apiece for contempt
OF court, 'said Judge Fitz Patrick Tuesday
afternoon, to attorneys Knight and
Boarman. The two attorneys had come
to personalitie in a case they were trying,
and words led to blows. The circum-
stances, as we learn them, were that while
MI. Boardman was speaking he was inter-
rupted by Mr.. knight, who objected to
something which had been said. and Mr..
Boarman called him a liar. Knight struck
at Boarman, and was promptly knocked
down by that gentleman, and Judge fitz
Patrick immediately fined them $25 apiece.
It will not be out OF place here to state
that Attorney knight was under the in
fuence of liquor and had not been regular.
" employed in the case, and should not
have been allowed to appear before the
court, and that his appearance in this con
dition was doubtless very unpleasant 20
Mr.. Boarman and the court. Judges fltz
Patrick and Fitzgerald have both ordered
that no attorney shall appear before them
in the future under the influence OF liquor.
Il is a ruling that should have been made

THE FIGHT AT ROCKER.
Jack Lawrence Defeats Billy Lynn in
Three Rounds.

News was afloat on the streets yesterday
morning that some kind of a scrapping
match had come of at Rocker, and that
one of the participants had got badly used
up. The MINER representative started in
to hunt the rumor down, but found the
task no easy matter. Owing to the strin-
gency of the Territorial laws in regard to
prize-fghting, making spectators INSIDE
m~eauants, it was natural that those who
knew anything about it should profess ig-
norance, wen if not spectators, and the
result was q clam-like dumbness that made
the prospect of news on the subject prob
lematical, to say the least. Up at the Of
fee of the Sheriff the usually generous
informants therein felt constrained in the
interests of justice to cOnfine their admis-
siOns TO the fact that q fight had taken
place, but az to who were there or between
whom the fight (f such there had been)
occurred they begged to be excused from
being asked about. Come round to-mor-
row night" they said, "and we'll tell you
all we know"
In spite Of all these discouragements,
The MINER representative was not deferred
and at last found a gentleman who heard
some other gentlemen cOnversing in a
neighboring room, and from their CONVEX
sation the Information we lay before our
readers was gathered.
At an early hour yesterday morning We
hicles of all kinds, considerably we'll
loaded, we're observed heading in the direc-
tion OF the Burlington road house. Ar
rived there the necessary arrangements
were made and the old Germania hosting
works were selected for the contest to take
place il. The crowd Immediately ad-
journed thither; q ring was formed, a ref
cree chosen, and at the call of time the
well known Jack Lawrence and Billy Lynn
each other and the set-to began. The
men we're in good condition and both
and q good deal of money was up on the
result. The first and second rounds wit
messed some lively exchanges, Lynn fighting
mostly on the defensive, and Lawrence
heavily on Billy with his longer
of arm.
When time was called for the third round ,
made q terrific drive at Lynn, !
catching him square on the chin. This sent
crashing against a post. unfortunate
~ in the way, with such force as to put an
end to the contest. The referee immedi-
ately awarded the fight to Lawrence and
everyone scattered.
The stakes were said to be $500.
The foregoing is believed to be in the
main correct, though as the parties who
gave the information could not
be interviewed our informant had to con-
tent himself with what he could carry
away. One thing is certain, however, that
livery carriages were as scarce as hens
teeth yesterday morning at an early hour.
The parties who engineered the affair
made a pretty good thing out of it, tickets
being eagerly snapped up at IS among the
all last week and a surprising
OF all classes we're eager to partici-
pate at that figure.
